Acquisition
HW and SW means for operator and supervisor
control
(various types of operator panels and PCs,
software packages for operator panels
programming and for visualization)
HMI - Operator panels
• Two main parts:
display - only textual
- graphical -monochromatic
- colour
buttons - with predefined meaning
(minimal configuration:
up, down, OK, ESC)
- free for user configuration
- numerical

11.4 Visualization of technological
processes
Representation of technological process behavior
on display (operator panel or PC)
• Technological information
- (technological variables values – e.g. pressure,
temperature, level, position, number of pieces,
type of pieces, delays etc.)
• Information about control of the process
- (state of sensors, state of actuators, controller
parameters, step in sequential control etc.)
Visualization of technological
processes - 2
• Operator interface for
- Change of individual parameters or the whole
set of parameters (data structure – recipe)
- Manual control of the process (e.g. possibility
to manipulate with motors)
- Error handling
- Alarm procesing
- Data acquisition (e.g. for longterm statistic
evaluation of quality or performance)
